Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process, initiated by the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, pertains to the "NHS South Yorkshire ICB Pharmacy LCS Contract 2025-26 – Heritage Pharmacy." The procurement falls under the services main category and specifically targets pharmacy services within the Rotherham region, UKE3. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, categorised under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), allowing for direct contract awards without prior publication.
The contract, effective from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, is part of a completed award stage as of 2nd September 2025. The process was designed around the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and excludes applicability under the Procurement Act 2023, indicating specialised regulatory compliance for healthcare services. This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for pharmacy service providers, particularly those within the existing group who hold contracts via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF).
The contract requires interdependency between the Locally Enhanced Services (LCS) and the CPCF, thus benefitting providers already equipped to enhance the existing framework. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Heritage Pharmacy, the awarded supplier, are well-suited for these contracts given their existing integration in the healthcare infrastructure. Businesses in the healthcare sector that can align their services with the NHS Payment Scheme and meet specifications stand to benefit from this contract through ongoing service delivery and partnership with health care boards.
The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population
These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (pharmacy) is because they are required to hold a contract via the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the (CPCF) contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. For this reason not every Pharmacy delivers every LCS.<br/><br/>This contract has been awarded following the direct award process B.<br/><br/>The lifetime value for this contract is unknown as it is based on patient activity.<br/><br/>The contract will run from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026<br/><br/>This is an existing service with an existing provider.
